Is there a call for new-build and contract cleaning in Tenerife?

First of all what a great site.

Now on to my question.
I currently run 2 businesses in the UK one is a cleaning firm dealing with new build cleans and contract cleaning, and the other is a valeting business.

I am thinking of moving to Tenerife with my family in 2008 and was wondering if anyone knew what the call will be for that kind of work out there? Would i be better to try and set up on my own again there or work for someone else?

I will still be running the UK based cleaning business to give us some income, but will sell the valeting one before we move.

I really dont have a problem with working for others especially valeting, so any contacts would be a great help.

Any help

Thanks
Simon Hook

Hi Sytra, and welcome to the forum

There are quite a few threads in the jobs wanted section of the forum, where cleaners are advertising their services, which might give you some idea of the demand in that sector ... from both sides! You could also usefully have a look at THIS thread as well. As far as new-build cleaning is concerned, I would have thought many builders / construction companies would have this covered "in-house", though there might be many new-build owners who think that the "builderīs-clean" is little more than a sweep and wipe over.

Enjoy the forum ... there is lots for you to read on here specifically relevant to you, so put the search facility to good use! And if you read nothing else, read THIS !

Hi Sytra - welcome. I have to echo Janet on the fact that so many people are offering cleaning services here in the South of Tenerife ... usually there is at least one person in each compex who will offer to hold keys and clean between tenants (often not to a professional standard), and of course they can offer cheap rates as they are not paying any taxes and have no overheads. However, I do think there is a market for the post-builder-clean ... just ask the people on the Las Chafiras thread ... but as to whether you could make a living doing that

Valeting is cheap here ... garage in Valdes Centre (Los Cris) offer a complete inside & out for 20 euros ... though I stopped using them after my foot kept slipping off the polished accelerator pedal
